They can also be directed to block access to a URL.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>App stores, too, may be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/apple-may-open-iphone-and-ipad-to-rival-app-stores-says-report\/\" rel=\"follow\">instructed to remove an app<\/a> from their Singapore store to prevent further downloads by users in the country.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, the proposed legislation can be applied to nine categories of criminal offences, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/online-security-101-how-to-protect-your-privacy-from-hackers-spies-and-the-government\/\" rel=\"follow\">activities that affect national security<\/a>, unlawful gambling, and activities that incite violence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/best-vpn\/\" rel=\"follow\">The best VPN services (and why more people should be using them)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The government directives can be issued as long as there is &#8220;reasonable suspicion&#8221; an online activity is conducted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/cybercrime-can-be-the-biggest-threat-to-business-growth\/\" rel=\"follow\">to facilitate a crime<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The ministry said a &#8220;proactive&#8221; approach was necessary to counter the scale and speed achieved by cybercriminals.
